WORK OF THE SPIES dignation in Germany by Publish- ing Description of a New Krupp Gun, While German Paper Caused Consternation In England by Pub- lishing Interior of Dreadnought. Evéry mow and again there is a spy scare in England, and occasionally an arrest, but prosecutions are not 8 frequent as in Germany and France. Only last year, however, a foreign- er, speaking very little English, was arrested at Leeman Fort, the strong. est fort on the North Coast of Ire- land. The man was said to have been making sketches inside the inner battery, though no one is allow- ed within the fortifications at all. For lack of sufficient evidence, 'the man got off. Berious loss of life and damage to property would have resulted if the nefarious plans of unknown spies had . iat Perth a few years ago, when anghttempt was made to blow up a powder magazine. When the outrage 'was discovered, the doors had been forced open with a crowbar, and a fire had been light ed about a yard from the 700 lbs. of blasting powder and gelatine with which the building was stored. But fortunately the fire Burnt out before reaching the explosives. At the i of the present year considerable indignation wis aroused in Germany by the publica tion in the English Service journal, "The Navy," of a namute description of a new Kriipp 2icentimetre gun, with detailg of various trials at Kiel. Only gross" carelessness or bribery could gecount for the leakage. On the other hand, some weeks be. fore the launching of our first Dread: nought, a German paper published a photograph of the interior of the vessel. And the ship, be it remem- bered, was constructed under condi- tions of the utmost secrecy! ' Two years ago a case of espionage came 'to light in Germany which re vealed that such extensive and valu- able information had been given to France as necessitated the replacing of the whole system of Western for tresses, and also sweeping changes in field artillery. The spy was one Herr Bchiwara, an ex-jourtialist, who had become a brewery ranager. His method was to entertain pon-com.'s and soldiers to champagne rs, and by this means he was able to pump them of the facts he required. That his game was a paying one may be gathered from the fact that he was shown to have received as much as $1,000 for individual items of information. He had carried on his operations for three years before being found out; but then he was condemned to twelve years' hard labor. ' Four years' penal servitude was the sentence meted out only last year governess, tried in Berlin, and said to have been if the to' the at the trial H burg, obtained a post as governess He RE is n en ac. quainted with a number of young naval officers, whom she attracted by her charming personality to such a degree that she wis able to get from then charts, plans, and secrets that it was treason fo disclose. At leastrone payment to this clever woman was traced to Brussels, whence she received $195, regularly every. month, said to be from an agent of France. "It is remarkable to what limits of audacity the spy will go in order to obtain what he knows his employers will pay well for. Some three years ago a man of gentleman. ly arrived at the entrance to he akwater Fort at Portland, and presented to the Suptitiel Ap, urporting to come from the ira nk in command. He was shown all over the fort, and not till the card he had presented was returned in due course'to the commanding officer was 8 discovered to be a forgery.

Then, after having passed the day in the arduous task of pro- lecting the law-abiding citizens against the vast army of criminals, and trying to bring the latter to book, they are often called out to secure abseonding elephants, running riot | and causing devastation in the plan. tations, or to free an outlying village from the attentions of a man-eating tiger, And, in order to cope with all such eventualities, an inspec of a dis trict, comprising aps forty or more villages, separated from the other by miles of impenetrable jungle, is given'only one or two white constables i Policemen. The latter are mostly athans, a physically well-developed and strong peo le, but, unfortunately, quite unreliable and often treacher- ous. Moreover, 10 increase further the difficulties of the position, the people in towns and villages show an open antipathy, not to say hostility, to the police . Instead of assisting, they place difficulties in the way, and 'mislead the officers, even though they might be in possession of clues as to the identity or whereabouts of the wanted criminals. Ht, further, we take into considers- tion the fact that the criminal gangs are invariably closely organized se- oret societies, such as societies of burglars, cattle thieves, housebreak- ers, decoits, ete., the reader will be able to gauge the enormity of the problems with which the «Indian police have to cope in the. course of their daily routine. Perhaps routine is hardly the word to describe con- ditions offering so much variety and excitement. Thus, a couple of years ago, I was in charge of an extensive jungle dis trict in the Punjab, some eighty miles to the south o Ehan. At the jie we were peste: with a particularly: sudacious gang of robbers, whose deeds and tactics proved them to be at the very height of their profession, and well sequainted with local con ditions. They operated indiserimin- ately in the European and native settlements, and had even forced their entrance into the police and military posts, with a view to steal ing weapons, and all kinds of valu- ables" on which they could lay their an h 5 A peculiar feature of their mode of Pp ure was that they invariably administered some insidious drug to their intended victims, and whilst the latter were under ils effect quietly raided the place and disappeared be- fore the alarm could be given.

When a fresh Great Beal is made, either 'at the accession of 4 'new Sovereign to the throne, or during the reign, it is brought into use the old one discarded with quite an - teresting ceremony. A meeting o Privy a] is called, and attended by the King in person. The two Seals, the new and the old, are laid on the 'tablé. Then the King, in the pr of his illors p his hand on the new. Beal, thereby toa stituting it the Great Beal 'of Eng iand, and acknowledging that any docament to which an impression of it is attached is his act and deed, af ter which His Maj commits it to the keeping of ) Chancel Jor.. The old Beal next wu a process known as "demasking." At one time it was the practice to cut it into four guarters and d it the pieces in the Tower; but for many years it has been defaced simply b the Sovereign making a few al punctures over its two sides with a pointed hammer. These marks are re- garded as sufficiently indicating that the Seal can never again be used ma a state instrument. The history of the social reform has rarely prestiisd s0 remarkable a evelopment known as the Irish Protestant Total Abstin- ence Union, or, as it is better known, the "Catch My Pal" Society, whose first anniversary way celebrated in Ar- magh recently with several demonstra. tions.

Over £1.300.000 'has been on art treasures at Christie's in . England, during the year 1980. The picture sales of the season compare favorably in interest with famous disposals in the past, such as the great Gillot sale in 1522 when a sum ol £16450 was realized: the Dudley sale of 1908. which yielded a fornove: of over £99000, and the Day. Cuthbertson, Guskell and Qui ter sales last yeer. vhich prod an aggregate of £300,520. The principal sale of the year was that of the remaining pertion of the Alexander Young solletion, with its magnificent exam masters of the Barbizon and Modern Dutch' schools. In three a £154,000 was obtaited, a result whi has only been exceeded on dme occasion. The wonderful records Schisved by Turner in 198 and 1909 paled bdfore the 13.000 guineas fete by Corots' delightful ~ "Birds"-Nesters" in' the Young sale. The remarkable prices obtained throughout this sale afford an encouraging commentary oa the value of the George Baiting beguest, which. wus bought chiefly from this: collecfion. The rapid rise in favor of the painters of . Corot school i recent years has brought considers able profit to those whose earlier aps preciation of their works led them to collect when prices were low. In the Dap ule last year the net profit amoun to about . half the total sum realized, und the dispersals of 1910 have furnished numerous in- stances of profitable collecting. Only £460 was paid thirly years ago for the Corot which changed hands this Season at 13.000 guineas, while Con- stable's "Stoke-by-Neyland," which realized 8,800 guineas, was bought in 1860 for 100 guineas.

Tn this the chief treasures were he art Sevres porcelain, gorgeous snuff. boxes, snd tablet cases, and other ornate objects made in the luxurious days of Louis XV. und Louis XVI. No les than 9,000 guinens wus paid for 'a set of three little Bevis vases which had cost little more 'than & quarter the sum - in 1886, while a Louis XV. snuffbox, ' sequired for £1,000, was re-sold at £4,000, In this sale ulso there was again ous sixteenth century crystal biberon which realized the recotd sum of 18.- 500 guineas after a sensational con- test in 1905.

Upon ene oc- casion the Gaekwar met this prince, gmvely driving along, in his metor. car, to which he had fitted a pair of shaits and in them was harnessed an old horse!
